Gymenist Water Proof Ankle Weights With Adjustable Strap Great For Swimming And All Water Sports Activities

Work good in the pool! Can use on ankles or arms.

I purchased the 1 lb weights. I’m a plus size and the weights fit just fine. I’m also a Boomer and the added weight helps with all the water exercises. I can see that my lower body is benefiting from the added weight. I was afraid to use weights thinking they would cause pain in my hips and knees. Just the opposite. I walk faster, step up higher and am just stronger.

Excellent product, easy to use, stays in place during aqua fitness class

I bought these for an aqua cardio class I started taking. They take a day or two to dry out completely, depending on where you put them to dry. The Velcro is very strong, so there’s no slipping. I think the weight (2lb ea) is perfect for a beginner in an aqua workouts. It’s enough weight to increase muscle toning, and it helps keeps me from drifting out of my spot in the pool.

Very comfortable weights used for water aerobics. Helps create a better workout. Fit is good and dries hanging up in my locker.

I read the reviews and although a lot of people were complaining about it taking forever to dry, I decided to go ahead and try them out. I'm glad I did. I bought the one pound weights. For the first 2 days I wore them around the house. They are very comfortable and they have a great grip with the velcro. (both dry and wet) They are very well designed and constructed. I also love the way the weighed gel pad comes out. I'm wondering if those who were complaining about the long dry times, know that if you remove them from the outer shell, they dry so much more quickly. Example of this, I used them for lap swimming in the morning and they were almost dry by that evenings aqua bike class. They are also very comfortable in the water and I definitely got a lot of resistance even though they are 1 pound weights. I really like these & plan to purchase the heavier weights. Overall, they were definitely worth the price.

When I took the weights out of their packaging I noticed right away that they were very stiff - stiff enough that I was a bit worried about being able to get them around an ankle. However, I bent them into shape and fastened them about an hour before I used them and getting them on was not a problem. But, the weights inside are stiff and have square edges. The result of this is that the movement of the weights on an ankle causes the weight inside to press it's sharpish angles into your skin and bone. I think I'm going to be able to use them, but I'm going to look around to see if I can find away to cushion them - possibly with neoprene. I've used water ankle/wrist weights before which were filled with small shot and those were not uncomfortable at all but they were also not very heavy. I bought these because I wanted something a little bit heavier.

Easy to put on
